I don't think it would be a major international incident or even be particularly unexpected for them to hack the rnc and dns and anything else they could get their hands on. In fact, they'd be failing at their jobs if they weren't trying their hardest to do that.

The problem is that they released the data. And they are fairly blatantly attempting to tip the scales in an ongoing election. That's not something that the US can politely ignore. It threatens the entire political system of the US.
